Tattoo clients pick an artist, then a shop. They look for a style, healed photos if you have permission to show them, and whether you take custom work, flash, or both. They also need the practical rules: how a consult works, how far ahead the book sits, and the age policy you follow. A single gallery of every artist mashed together makes people request the wrong person. A site that never mentions aftercare leaves that speech to the end of a long appointment, when they are least likely to remember it.
Competitive market research looks at the shops a client would compare for the styles you tattoo. The site is fully custom, $0 down and $249/mo hosting, live in less than a week.
What gets in the way for tattoo shops
Artists share one anonymous gallery
Style is personal. If a client cannot tell who drew the work, they email the shop and hope. That creates bookings with the wrong artist and awkward handoffs.
Custom and walk-in are the same button
A flash piece and a large custom project do not start the same way. One form that says tell us your idea makes both of them harder to schedule.
The deposit and the consult are rumors
People want to know if they need a drawing appointment before they are on the book. If you take a deposit, you tell us the policy. We do not invent the amount or the refund rule.
Aftercare is a link to a random blog
Your artists already have instructions. The site should use those, not a generic essay that contradicts what you say in the room.
Healed photos are missing or not yours
Fresh photos and healed photos answer different worries. Use work you did, with the client's permission. Do not present another shop's portfolio as the chair.
A deep business audit, built around tattoo shops
A deep business audit for a tattoo shop maps artists, styles, and how a project gets on the book. Policies stay in your words, including age rules and anything you refuse to tattoo.
- Which artists want new projects, and which styles should each portfolio emphasize?
- Do you take walk-in flash, custom only, or both, and on which days?
- How does a consult work, and what do you need to see before you talk about a date?
- What is your deposit policy, if you have one? You provide the terms. We do not draft a number.
- What aftercare do you want published, and what do you refuse to tattoo?
- What age and ID rule do you follow, in the sentence you want on the site?
Competitive market research before we design
Competitive market research compares nearby shops for artist-level portfolios, consult clarity, and whether aftercare matches a serious shop or a leftover paragraph.
- Whether each artist has a body of work that looks like one person's style
- How custom projects start versus flash
- If consults, deposits, and scheduling are explained without clutter
- Whether aftercare is specific to the shop
- How the Google Business Profile shows hours, artists, and photos
- What reviews mention, often the artist, the healed result, and whether the consult matched the appointment
Must-have pages for tattoo shops
Artists
A page per person who wants to be booked, with the styles they actually tattoo and whether their book is open.
Custom projects
What to send, how a consult works, and that a description is not yet an appointment.
Flash and walk-ins
Only if you offer them. Say which days and that the piece on the wall may already be taken.
Aftercare
Your instructions, reviewed by you. We do not invent medical advice or a healing timeline.
Policies
Age, ID, what you will not tattoo, and deposit terms you supply. We do not state a law.
Hours and location notes
Hours and a map from facts you give us, plus whether artists keep individual hours.
Features that earn their place
Portfolios separated by artist
The choice is the person. A shared pile hides that.
A custom request that is not a fake booking
Idea, placement, and size in their words, then your consult. No instant price.
Aftercare in your voice
The same instructions they hear in the chair.
Healed and fresh work, labeled honestly
Only photos you have permission to use.
Google Business Profile with the shop's real hours
Google Business Profile setup is included. Artist photos and hours should match the site.
Fully custom, not a template with your logo on it
Custom-only studio
A fully custom homepage can say there is no walk-in flash, show artists, and explain the consult before any talk of a date.
Street shop with flash
Daily flash can lead, with custom requests on a separate path so those emails are not treated like a small walk-in.
Guest artists
A guest spot can be a short-lived page and come down when the dates pass, as a content update, without rewriting the shop.
One style, several artists
If the shop is known for a style, the homepage can say that and still send people to the artist whose book is open.

What a tattoo shop website costs
Shops often rely on a social feed and a booking link with no aftercare and no sense of which artist is open. The feed is not a consult.
You pay $0 down and $249/mo hosting. 12-month ownership terms: 12 months of hosting at $249/mo, then month to month. Leave earlier and the remaining hosting or a buyout of the build is due. The team is 100% US-based, made in the USA, in Yardley, PA.
We will not promise a full book or invent a deposit. We will not give medical advice. The site is live in less than a week. It belongs with our beauty websites.

Questions we get asked
Will you write a price list for tattoos?
Only if you want numbers public and you supply them. Custom work is usually a consult, not a menu. We do not invent a minimum.
Can you publish our age policy?
Yes, as the rule you follow, in your words. We do not turn that into legal advice or a claim about every state.
Who writes aftercare?
We start from what you tell us, you correct it, and that version is what ships. We do not paste a generic healing article.
Is Google Business Profile included?
Yes. Setup is included so hours and photos match the website.
How fast can artist pages go live?
Live in less than a week from kickoff, once we have the portfolios you are allowed to show. Fully turnkey: we write, design, build, launch, and host it.
